Cannot resume a mission

Recommended Posts

Saving situations works fine, but after leaving the game and coming back to resume a mission pressing resume does nothing. No updates have taken place either. Any ideas?

 

Fixed NOT!

 

Saves are shown under Arma 3 under documents but are not shown/used in the game when Resuming.

The switches in Steam & Arma 3 seem to have no affect.

Even when putting the '*.sbo' files in E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Missions, still do not show up in the game.

 

 

Over at the Steam cummunity 'Nitrous' mentioned that if you do not have a 'continue.Arma3Save' file for a game that you can rename one of the other save files.

example:  this 'save2.Arma3Save' becomes this 'continue.Arma3Save'.

This renaming has worked so far for me ... knock on wood.

 

make a continue save file to resume a game

 

UPDATE:

 

I am not a programmer however learning a little c# wasn't to hard.

I made a little c# program using VS2019 to help fix the 'resume' issue.

I thought I would share it. 

I have used it successfully many times.

Hopefully it will work for you too.

There are some images at gitbub and my 'Arma3SavesLister.rar' file.

I use Winrar for packing and unpacking files.

I list the game folders and their files within into a grid.

Under most circumstances there is a file that can be used to fix the 'resume' problem.

The program allows renaming and deleting files.

My O/S is Windows 10 Prof 64 bit.
